Bye Bye Binky?

My Bug is 17 months now! Wow how time flies! I'm wondering if the time is coming to say bye bye to the binky. I have no idea how to go about getting her out of this habit that I created!

She never took a binky until we transitioned her from her bottle to the sippy cup. I suppose that since she wasn't sucking on the bottle anymore before bedtime she needed a replacement so I started giving her a binky at 11 months! I don't know what I was thinking! Maybe I was just that desperate for sleep but now I'm kind of kicking myself for it!

The only thing I have been doing is taking the binky out of her mouth before I get into bed so that she isn't sucking on it the entire night. She'll just pop it back in if she wakes during the night. 

Any tricks to kick the binky? Any suggestions as to what age to start? Should I just wait until she's old enough to understand so I can give it to the "Binky Fairy"?
